The ASYNC 2004 tutorial document discusses both the coarse-grain and fine-grain PL flows. The coarse-grain examples use several variations of a double-precision floating point clipping operation mapped to both UMC18u and Artisan/IBM13u standard cell libraries. A pipelined CPU mapped using the coarse grain flow is also examined. The fine-grain discussion maps two of the double precision floating point examples to fine-grain PL netlists.
The tutorial presentation will hit the highlights of the above topics, and let attendees exercise the coarse-grain and fine-grain flows for examples that interest them. I will try to avoid the dreaded "death by powerpoint" syndrome in presenting the material, and will instead concentrate on attendee exploration of the tool flows.
The following documents will be provided to tutorial attendees:
All tools and examples covered in the tutorial are available via the highlighted link.
